I do have some favourite challenges, and am always delighted when drawn as a pick,
or drawn for the wonderful prize on offer, so I’m sharing cards made with two gifts from the
Snippets Playground, a stamp and stencil (Aall & Create).
I have to credit Sarn from Stamping for Pleasure for the inspiration….
I love this easy to use stencil Florastella, which went well with the Periwinkle stamp, which I stamped in black, inked with Highland Heather and decoupaged.
I’m taking this to We Love Stamping, anything goes, (there is a heart in the flower centre, but not sure that will count!)
Stamping Sensations, anything goes, although this stamp is already a favourite as well!
Stamp and Stencil
On this next card I used Gorgeous Grape ink and card stock.
I love how the flower has a heart shaped centre….
I’m entering the Snippets Playground #525, having used lots of white snippets for the decoupage.
Allsorts challenge #842, making my own background.
MyNBUS, this is a new to me stamp and stencil.
A huge thank you for those generous people who work hard to bring us challenges to inspire us.
Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments
Take care and see you soon

Ooh! Thank you for the shout out Lesley and I'm delighted to see you enjoying your prizes. That stencil is one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards IMHO!!!!!! Love the colours you used and I always think a bit of dimension with some decoupage is a lovely touch on a handmade card.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a mug of hot chocolate shortly - or around the back of the bike sheds with Brenda if you fancy something stronger! xxx
